Sustainble Literacy

#CoffeeforLiteracy

There's a future in every cup of coffee.

We have set out to build libraries for orphanages, schools, and community centers by donation 10 cents of every cup to literacy projects. Our passion for making an impact through literacy starts back in 2014 when our non-profit (Sustainable Literacy) was founded.

Courtney and I have set out to build a self-sustaining structure that makes a long-term impact in rural communities in Nepal and Kenya through literacy projects. Previously, we have promoted literacy in Nepal and Kenya by delivering school supplies and letters of encouragement to children in schools, orphanages, and children's homes.

This has proven very beneficial, but we wanted our work to be self-sustaining--we needed consistent funding. The most challenging part of building a self-sustaining model is making it easy for anyone to get involved. We wanted to provide an opportunity for anyone to be able to make a difference. That's why we created Martin Coffeehouse. 10 cents of every cup goes to building libraries and literacy projects in Nepal and Kenya. The more that we grow in our local community, the more we are affecting change in a rural community abroad.

What began as an easy way to help people make a difference, evolved into a lasting global impact. A community for a community-- and it's as easy as drinking a cup of coffee. To learn more about our outreach check out our non-profit Letters in Motion. www.LettersinMotion.org

how it works

Film

For every cup of coffee sold we donate 10¢ to building libraies and supporting literacy projects.

We only work and support long term sustainable projects. We believe the future of non-profit work is moving to self sustained models through providing a product or serve. We intend to be a leader in this mission. We have opened up our model to for local non-profits, schools and projects to partner together to create something very speical. We have had the oppuntity to work with a number of local projects, school and non-profits in helping establish a self sustaining model. We started by selecting a special roast of coffee and promoting the organization name on the bag and donating

Onces we install a library we insure that it will be taken care of.

We buy all of our books locally.

We work closly with locals that want to make a differnece in education.

We fund sustable education projects.

We are in this for the long run. We only invest in projects that have locals that want to make an impact in education and that are communted to taking of and running the libraye we install.

Only working with established structures to insure long term impact

What does sustainable mean?

1. The programs operating cost is fully funded by the selling of product or serves (Not funded by donation)

2. The project is maintained and watched, kept up with, monitored so the investment is not waisted to insure that the investment is making a long term impact

3. We vet who we are donating too to insure no money makes it into the wrong hands and the project is cared for

Literacy Projects

We need badge type designs for each project we are raising money for. We should only have 2 at one time.
